Just where in the United States Constitution does it authorize this total insanity? I don't care who it is that has worked on what and with whom. I want to see chapter and verse these people use to justify this government intrusion on the Free Markets.
So, a Tentative Deal has been reached. We have heard this before and thankfully, it was a bald-faced lie. However, seeing that I haven't seen Harry Reid with this kind of a face-shattering smile in a very long time, it just might be true.
Paulson doesn't look all that happy. Perhaps his Czar-like powers have been stripped? Who knows? Given the cretins in the picture have a dismal record of actually giving a hoot or a holler about We The People, I don't trust one single one of them.
Does anyone also find it curious that the language being used is all too familiar in regards to nothing has really been accomplished? I am talking about the "all you have to do now" type of thing.
Top U.S. policy makers emerged from hours of tense negotiations with a clear message just after midnight Sunday morning: A deal to bailout U.S. financial markets has been agreed on and all that remains to be done is to commit the legislation to paper. [...]
Good Lord. So, they took 144 pages of an outline, made notes and created more outlines, killed more trees in the process and have decided that now is the time to actually write up the verbiage that no one will ever understand. I just hope that someplace within the text of the actual legislation that there is a remote reference to the authority of the United States Constitution which allows this and authorizes it.
The Devil is in the details and there are only preliminary details and I don't hold much to the prelims at all.
As the video shows, not a bloody thing was wrong in 2004. And yes, that statement is snort worthy.
